You can also put a line like: h printer-offset.ps into your config.printer file, and have a PostScript header file called printer-offset.ps in the header directory which contains something like: % printer-offset.ps: translate printer origin 15/72 inch up 0 15 translate The default header directory(ies) is(are) specified by the HEADERPATH variable in the Makefile. This is one of the nice things about dvips---it is really easy to set up configurations for multiple printers using the config.printer files.
